When I hit the brakes from a higher speed, say 40 mph+, they make a noise. It's the type of noise I would expect to hear along with a shudder, almost like ABS kicking in. It's just the noise though. No shudder, the brakes feel fine, no lights on the dash, nothing. It's a 2011 CPO with 31K miles.

View 5 RepliesI recently bought a new 2016 r line, coming out of a 2013 gti 6 speed manual. This is my first suv ever and my first automatic trans in about 10 years, so needless to say it has been somewhat of an adjustment.
I love the drive of the Tiguan, but I was curious where people typically see their rpms shift at. I noticed that while driving on the highway, to accelerate with traffic it likes to shift at about 3000 rpm initially and then dropping, city/around town in around 2500. I wanted to make sure this rpm doesn't seem too high or low for this car.
Secondly, I did read some on this issue, but is everyone else's Tiguan somewhat loud when accelerating? My gti had the same engine and seemed a little quieter.it sounds almost like a Diesel engine inside the cabin, but not as loud as one would be. My wife drives a cx5 with 184 HP and hers is a decent amount quieter. Noticed the engine being a little noisy?
C1344 hydraulics system ... This is the code was display after check what does the problem is ?
View 2 RepliesWho knows how to fill the trunk hydraulics with oil. (Hydraulic pump) mine is make a lot of noise before opening the trunk. And does have a pause before opening and closing. So I guess it is low on fluids. And the hydraulics have some oil covered in the 10 years if use. When holding the pump in a better position the noise is less...
View 8 RepliesMy AC fan has gotten noisy. Maybe the bearing is going or maybe I can oil it and get rid of the problem that way. Any instructions on how to access it?
View 4 RepliesMy car becomes very noisy from 25 mph and up. The faster I go, the noisier it is. At least I know it's not from the engine. What would make a lexus roar like a big truck in the cabin?
View 14 RepliesMy Mom bought this automatic 1999 Corolla new. It has lived in Florida and has now taken up residence in Canada, Ontario. It has 38,500 miles on it,mostly driven at under 70miles per hour. As I drove this car to Canada, I noticed that it became noisy over 70mph and really noisy at 80-85. The noise remained the same from about 80 to 95mph. Putting it in neutral in the Tennessee hills it was much quieter coasting down the hills at high speed. It is not a wheel bearing, alignment or tire problem. The noise seems to be coming from the engine area. I don't understand why it is quiet up to 70? Exhaust ? Transmission? I Will have a mechanic look at it but I have had numerous misdiagnosis over the years.
View 1 RepliesTook my car in (2011 Golf Base 2dr 5spd) for it's 10k mile oil change and checkup and mentioned that the A/C sounded a little noisy, kind of like a whine, every so often. It didn't really bother me but my wife would complain about it. The air was ice cold and I just figured maybe it was normal. Well I got a call from the service advisor and he said the noise was due to an internal failure and they were going to replace the compressor. I sure was surprised. Got the car back and the A/C is just as cold and is now nice and quiet.
So if your A/C is even slightly noisy I would bring it up. Could save yourself having to replace a costly compressor down the road.
First off it's NOT the strut mounts or bearings. I just wasted a bunch of money installing new ones. Hard to tell if the noise is only on the driverside, but its not just at low speeds. Kind of a clunking during up/down movement.

View 1 RepliesI recently noticed that my 01 Rodeo is loud when starting out. It almost sounds like the air cleaner is off when I start off. I've looked everywhere and nothing is lose but it sounds loud. Is there a way to quiet this down or is it a characteristic of all Rodeo's...
View 3 RepliesJust yesterday I bought a 2011 Prius II with 50k miles. I got a pretty good price, and the car is from a toyota dealership and is toyota certified.
I didn't notice when I was at the dealership, but when I was playing around with the car parked in my garage, I noticed the car gets quite noisy when then a/c comes on... Is this normal?????
Some replaced the rear shock absorbers with Bilstein B$ OEM shocks. One claimed it fixed the problem.
VW dealers and mechanic claim that is normal for the car , no repair necessary?!!?
Do the wet boots make a clicking/rubbing type noise when turning on your car? It happen on my 2012 GTI, but only when it rains. It's really loud when I turn inside a parking garage. It's definitely not the joint itself, but rather is the rubber boot sticking to itself and releasing on the compressed side of the boot during the turn. No other car of mine has made this type of noise, even those with cheap Chinese aftermarket axles.

View 1 RepliesMy Mazda 626 makes alot of noise. I can hardly hear the radio without blasting it. My mechanic (Firestone) says it's normal for that car. I have had a wheel bearing replace 2 years ago and the tires (Firestone FR) are relatively new and the alignment is good. Do I simply have to live with it. I also have a 1995 Ford Taurus (for sale) and a 2005 Hyundai Sonata and neither make anywhere near the noise that the Mazda does.
View 4 RepliesI have a 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT - same car as a Toyota Matrix. It's a 6 speed standard. When driving in heavy rain where the street is flooded by an inch or more of water the car makes a noise like the bottom is going to drop out. It comes from underneath and makes a womp-a-womp-a-wompa sound that shakes the car. I initially thought it was one of the plastic panels below the car that was loose and catching water that would make it slap back and forth. But my mechanic couldn't find any loose panels.
Someone told me they had something similar with a Dodge Caravan and it was the timing belt getting wet - only I have a timing chain. I can't tell if it is related to the revs of the engine - it might be. It's such a scary sound I take my foot off the gas and it does seem to go away as the car slows. Seems like keeping under 30mph and out of the puddles works. This is only in heavy rain, street flooded conditions.
I still have the original Pirelli Scorpion tires on my 2010 Touareg (30,100 Miles). For the last year or so the tires have become extremely noisy. Before the warranty expired I made the dealer check to make sure there is nothing wrong with the wheel bearings or the drive train and of course they told me everything is fine. I had an alignment done about 3,000 Miles ago since the tires showed a little uneven wear.
View 2 RepliesThe fuel gauge on my 2005 is getting noisy. On start up when I turn the ignition and the gauge goes from empty to full, it makes a gear noise as if it needs some lube. The problem is that these are closed clusters and as far as I know I would not be able to apply lubricant inside.
